JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO AMEND COMPLAINT TO ADD ADDITIONAL PARTIES
KANDIS A. WESTMORE, Magistrate Judge.
Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 16(b)(4) and Rules 7, 7-12 and 16-2(d), Plaintiff J. Jason Reynolds and Defendants Direct Flow Medical, Inc. ("DFM"), Dan Lemaitre, John David Boyle, Gordon Bishop, Paul LaViolette, and Yuval Binur hereby stipulate and agree to request that the Court modify the Case Management Schedule currently governing this case so that the deadline for filing any Amended Complaint in this action be extended to February 28, 2018 rather than the current deadline of December 29, 2017.
The parties make this request on the following grounds:
1. Since last appearing before the Court, the parties have agreed to mediation. The earliest date they were able to secure a date for mediation with an agreed-upon mediator was January 29, 2018.
2. This date is considerably later than the December 29, 2017 deadline to amend the complaint.
3. The current parties are aware of two additional potential parties against whom additional claims may need to be added to this matter depending on the outcome of the currently scheduled January 29, 2018, mediation.
In the interest of seeing whether the matter can be resolved expediently and without the necessity of making such claims against such additional parties, the parties hereby agree to jointly request this change to the Case Management Schedule.
